Muiz Banire and Governor Ambode has not been on good terms since the latter’s assumption into office.

His post read in part, “My attention has been drawn to a press release purportedly emanating from the Lagos State Government on behalf of some miscreants masquerading as All Progressives Congress members. Assuming, without conceding, that this was from genuine members of the party, it is evidence of the lawlessness.

“If these crooked elements were members of the party, they would know that by the Constitution of the party, it is the National Executive Committee that can remove a national officer of the party responsible for the 36 states of the federation
